READER ANALYSIS
I enjoy riding ADV bikes, leaning more
toward day trips and the occasional
multi-day trip that includes hotels rath-
er than camping off the motorcycle.
This is due in large part to my busy
work schedule, which requires good
Wi-Fi and a laptop. So, I am envious of
people who can take trips out into the
wilderness and daydream about a trip
just like the one covered in "Adventure
Riding in Canada & Alaska."
De Vaulx starts out by stating that
he did only a small amount of research
about this trip, as he wanted to experi-
ence the region as a newcomer and be
open to changing his route on a whim.
That was also part of the reason he
chose to do this trip on his own. He
does an outstanding job describing
the amazing journey, and the photos
bring it all to life. As a motorcycle
enthusiast, I love looking at bikes,
but the scenery that motorcycles can
take you to is something I appreciate
even more. We see a lot of birds, deer,
elk and the occasional bear on rides
around my home in Northern Arizona,
but the amount of spectacular wildlife
that de Vaulx captured in just a couple
of weeks is just astonishing. Grizzlies,
lynx, caribou, moose, beavers, foxes,
Dall sheep, ospreys and bald eagles
are among the amazing wildlife cap-
tured from the seat of the motorcycle
and camera in his tank bag.
IN CANADA & ALASKA
Overview of the 8000+
mile route that the author
covered to capture
some epic photography,
memories and stories.
This second book from de Vaulx includes more pages
(216 versus 200), more photos and more emphasis on the epic
landscapes and wildlife with fewer motorcycle shots.
In addition to the wildlife and
scenery, de Vaulx shares entertain-
ing and educational stories about the
few small towns scattered along the
remote route and encounters with
other travelers and locals. The gold
rush town of Dawson City, camping
on the shore of the Arctic Ocean at 36
degrees Fahrenheit, stretching the gas
mileage to over 250 miles and gas
stations on the map that are no lon-
ger operational add to the adventure.
Just like de Vaulx's first book,
"Adventure Riding in Canada & Alaska"
takes you on an epic journey to places
that motorcycles are uniquely capable
of reaching. And anybody who loves
the outdoors or wildlife will likely ap-
preciate the amazing photography and
stories about the adventure.
